Fancy a slice of Spain without battling with Brits abroad for the last table in your favourite restaurant or having to get up early to secure a spot by the pool?
Well it turns out there are plenty of Spanish towns and villages that tourists, British or otherwise, have passed by en route to Benidorm, Alicante and Malaga.
That means less pressure in finding somewhere to stay, somewhere to eat and drink and somewhere to sun yourself.
And it’s not less popular towns with tourists are any less beautiful. Jávea, also known as Xàbia, is as gorgeous as it is well-equipped to cater for all your wants and needs.
Jávea, separates the capes of La Nao and San Antonio, and is little over an hour from Alicante. The town is known for historic walls lining the coastline designed to keep out pirates. In 1877 pirates did attack the town and inflicted damage to the famous walled structures, which can be visited all year round.
As a typical Spanish fishing port, tourists can visit a raft of fantastic fish restaurants before wandering down to the beach or to the town’s coves to bask in the sun.
Unsurprisingly for a town on the Costa Blanca Jávea is hot a lot. The average temperature in August is a whopping 26C, according to holiday-weather.com. Even in January temperatures of 17C are not uncommon.
The most famous beach in the area is Playa La Granadella with tourists raving about the views it offers.
One holidaymaker from Hampshire said of the beach: “A wonderful place to spend a day. The views from the beach are stunning. The sea in October after a summer of sun is great. Enjoy granadella it’s worth a visit.”
Another said: “Little cove! Amazing view and clear water! When I went wasn’t super busy and I really enjoyed the sun and sea ! I really suggest to rent a car and get around to discover the beautiful Spanish coast.”
While a third chimed in: “This was my favorite beach when we visited Javea. Absolutely beautiful and tranquil. Make sure and take the shuttle bus down if you domt [sic] arrive early and bring your beach shoes and snorkle.”
